judgemental asked:


I have friends who sell on ebay. And I have always been curious about doing it. I have lots of books, some jewlery, even music records I could sell. I have read the area on ebay that outlines the process of selling, pricing and mailing. But I am wanting any and all advice from people who have sold or sale on ebay. The tricks and best ways to do things. I’m really confused about the pricing part of the selling. How do I exactly price my item and factor in the mailing cost? But I’m kinda clueless about it all. I havn’t set up anything to sell yet, but will be taking pictures of things to sell soon to get started. So any advice is GREATLY appreciated.

One customer placed a bid on my item and then 10 days later still hasn’t paid. I didn’t specify in my listing a specific time frame in which the winning bidder has to pay so I feel that it’s partially my fault, but I think that 10 days is enough time to pay by any standards. I wrote her a friendly email two days ago indicating that it has been ten days and saying that I just wanted to bring it to her attention. She replied to me and said she will pay the next day. That next day was yesterday, and today I checked the status of the transaction and she still has not paid - it’s already been 12 days. What is the best thing to do? I don’t want to just report her and lose the sale. Should I write her another email and be more firm this time? Should I tell her if she doesn’t pay she will be reported? I don’t know what’t the right thing to do in this case. How much extra time, if any should I give her before reporting her or relisting the item?
